Too late. He had several dry runs (TN Flood, Gulf Coast Oil Spill) and flunked them all.
Plus all Gulf Coast states are controlled by Repubs. Makes the charade more difficult.
The media will praise him for days no matter what happens if they can just get ‘Katrina’ in the story.
Darn, I was hoping it would head this way...
Little birdie tells me that hotel reservations are already iffy for many Jackson, MS hotels.
I can guarantee you, most people don't care.
‘Watching out for this one, Swami....’
Hard to remember that it took the most corrupt and clueless state to change the rules of the game for every other state --- for the worse.
Not having to exercise prudence, to budget for the unexpected, has empowered irresponsible states, like California, to spend into oblivion, and to pretend national disasters no longer exist.
Remarkably, a growing army of parasites and morons think this is a good thing.
He can’t do anything until Governor Jindal asks for assistance.
A couple of things to remember. First, the certainty associated with these models is pretty low, and a more eastern track is as likely as a western one; this storm is a likely to hit Pensacola as it is to hit New Orleans. Secondly, Issac is no Katrina - it will be a much weaker storm.
Do not think this is going to produce a bump at all.
I wonder if Looter guy would show up to GOP
It really in his hood LOL!
AL or FL panhandle hit. Strong cat 1 or weak cat 2 which is not a big deal for FL or AL. We can tell that idiot to stay home and keep his (our)money. His endless photo op trips would only get in the way.
Maybe. But who is in charge now in New Orleans? No more idiot Nagin. Plus we have Jindal there. And this will be a much weaker storm than Katrina. If they try that, it’ll be easy to shoot down.
But yes ... the Dems are likely to get a big bounce after their convention. They’ll slam the GOP’s convention and will have slick Willie speaking and Obama will deliver a great speech with his teleprompter.
fly in the ointment ? Bobby Jindal
FEMA?
Pardon me...
BAWHAWHAWHAWWWWW!!!!
Excuse me, but we are talking FEMA?
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
They can’t rescue themselves out of a kiddy pool. This is from a Texan that has worked the whole Gulf Coast and know hurricans.
Just for comparison, Katrina IIRC was a category 4 or 5 when it hit NO.
Don't want to make light of 90mph winds, but Isaac is a long way from a "Perfect Storm". It could be nothing more than a heavy rainstorm when it hits. Variables: Where and when - if it stikes at high tide, that's bad. If it hits a city as opposed to an empty beach, that's bad too.
The MSM may try to pump it up to knock the convention off the front pages, but I predict they'll have trouble finding dramatic footage.
JMHO
Did Rove turn over the keys to the weather machine to the DNC? It wouldn’t surprise me...
